Solve : PC runs but monitor goes to sleep mode when started - no picture? |
|
Answer» TRIED another PC and monitor does work so not a bad monitor. PC runs and drive operates when disc in but does not transfer picture or IMAGE to monitor. Also tried bad PC on a different monitor and it will not transmit a picture to that monitor either. Also, was freezing up often prior to this problem. PC: 2000 Compaq ME I'm not very computer literate so please speak in layman's terms. Quote Tried another PC and monitor does workDid you use same monitor cable, or monitor cable from second computer? You may need to update your video drivers. What model of that Compaq?PresarioModel NUMBER?7PL 7000Z Series LOOOOOOOL....it looks like Quote Did you use same monitor cable, or monitor cable from second computer?2 different MONITORS on 2 different towers. The Compaq tower does not turn on either monitor and each monitor had separate cables. but both monitors worked with the spare tower.Does Compaq have separate video card, or on-board video? If separate card, try to reseat it, try in second computer.did that and is still the same. it also is not hooked to internet - is used for kids computer games only since I got a new computer myself.Borrow a working vid card and swap it in there and see what happens... Quote did that and is still the sameExplain, please. Video card from first (bad) computer, doesn't work in good one?All I did was pull cards and put back in did not use vid card from another computer. not sure what vid card looks like but pulled every card and put back in same slot. The "good" computer is very very old maybe 10 YRS. or more. Look at the back of your computer. You'll see a port, where you connect your monitor. If inside your computer, there is a card connected to that monitor port, you DO have a video card. If there is no card, you have on-board video chip. What do you have?Your monito is overdued it is time to get a new one. sometimes monitor do behave like that when they are exhausted |
